Here are two more ways to enjoy the season:
Hillside’s own, Jean Sherrard takes us on another delightful afternoon of unconventional Christmas stories, poems and musical cheer in –
Short Stories Live! Another Rogue’s Christmas

Presented by Town Hall with A Contemporary Theatre; hosted and curated by Jean Sherrard.

GAMES AND OTHER DIVERTING AMUSEMENTS
Here at HILLSIDE’S GRAND JUBILEE we offer such amusing diversions as the following games.
-
Musical chairs!
-
Rob Your Neighbor (of his present!)—In which presents brought and wrapped are placed evenly around the circle, and when one rolls a six using a DICE, one may either take or steal a present from a conniving adversary.
-
Improvisational Games—In which our host Mr. Riesco leads a series of relevant improvisational dramatics.
-
Dancing—In which the youth of the event may participate in a DANCE of the ever-changing popular music of the 20th century—from THE CHARLESTON to THE TWIST.
-
And one last enthralling, superb, incredible EVENT—which shall remain secret until the end of the evening!
